How do I find an apartment with quiet plumbing?

plumbing


I work late and get up late. Two apartments now and I find that when my neighbors get up and take showers, it’s loud enough in my apartment that it wakes me up.

What causes this problem and how are buildings engineered to not have it? How can I find an apartment that won’t have noisy plumbing?

    Doubt you will find one real quiet. Most cheaper apartments have no insulation between walls of units. If you can find one constructed of cinder blocks it will be a winner.

    All apartments have noise, and some people do better in single family situation. It is just a fact of life. My apartments were built with concrete floors on all levels, and soundboard in the walls, but you will still hear some noise. Maybe you can find a small inexpensive house, where you don’t have neighbors all around. Good luck.
